The house is the architect’s favorite form: an opportunity to work collaboratively with clients on design that shapes and enhances life and gives pleasure over time. Here the “House Partners” at RAMSA, four distinguished architects, present 25 houses and apartments the firm has completed in the past ten years, each a unique design and collectively a stylistically diverse group reflecting deep knowledge of history and precedent.
To give insight into the design process and client goals, each of the partners describes his own designs, focusing on the planning and interior finishes. Stern is contributing an overview essay on the overall direction of the firm and linking the projects together.

In Designs for Living, Roger H. Seifter, Randy M. Correll, and Grant F. Marani, who lead the residential practice at Robert A.M. Stern Architects, present fifteen houses the firm has completed over the past ten years. From contemporary interpretations of the shingle style to robust Mediterranean designs, the houses are stylistically diverse reflecting RAMSA’s deep knowledge of history and precedent. Each partner provides insight into the design process and his individual approach to working with clients.
Houses are located in dramatic settings from Napa and Sonoma to the spectacular coastline of the Hamptons and New England. Whether overlooking the ocean or nestled into the mountainside, these remarkable houses reveal the architects’ emphasis on the importance of context and their dedication to exploring the nature of place and environment. Each house invokes the vernacular architectural heritage particular to its region while gracefully reflecting its natural surroundings.

Robert A. M. Stern Architects is dedicated to the synthesis of tradition and innovation. In more than thirty-five years of practice, he has produced a wide range of building types with a variety of stylistic influences, all inspired by the great legacy of American architecture. His firm, Robert A. M. Stern Architects, was first recognized for its distinguished houses, and residential design remains the cornerstone of the practice. This beautifully illustrated monograph — a companion to the best-selling Robert A. M. Stern: Houses — presents twenty-six of the firm’s most memorable houses.
Located in diverse settings across North America — from a valley in Colorado with sweeping views of the Aspen mountains to a bluff overlooking Long Island Sound to an island off the coast of British Columbia — these remarkable houses reveal the architect’s emphasis on the importance of context and his dedication to exploring the nature of space. Each house invokes the vernacular architectural heritage particular to its region while gracefully reflecting its unique natural surroundings. Whether they are Shingle Style “cottages” by the sea, colonial Georgian country estates, or elegant Regency designs, Stern’s houses are unique both for their timelessness and their ability to evoke a conversation with the past — a dialogue he believes lies at the heart of architecture.
